Co-working in Cumbria
Coworking offices are a solution to the problem of isolation & away from home workspace, that many freelancers escaping the distractions of home & those travelling on business, experience regularly.
Unlike in a typical office, those coworking are usually not employed by the same organisation. While working independently, coworkers have the advantage of networking with people in a variety of professions, working in the same shared space. Typically a coworking space is a community of people who value working in the same place alongside each other.
Join lots of other clients taking advantage of this unique coworking space. Guaranteed desk space and access to all of the facilities for the cheapest, flexible membership rates around. With its open plan design, this light and comfortable space is the perfect relaxed workspace.

Charity Organisation
Running the charity that we set up in our daughters memory is getting increasing and overwhelmingly busy! The Vicky provides the perfect place to be productive when I need an office space away from home. I work all over the place with various meetings, events and donations, but a day in The Vicky is always welcome and good for my mental health; working in an office with others rather than the endless hours on my own at home! Plus, there is free coffee…which is a big hit with me!
